Chapter 1288 - 638: Interrogation Accepted? Self-Incrimination Without Being Pressed

A moment later.

As the girl left the office.

Everyone else entered the room one by one for questioning.

Until finally.

It was Song Minli’s turn.

Luo Fei finally spoke softly.

"Ms. Song, you and Zhao Kuanlin don’t get along, do you?"

Luo Fei’s words made Ms. Song pause for a moment.

But only for a second before she replied seriously.

"Mr. Luo, how did you know about this?"

Noticing that she seemed a bit puzzled.

Apparently not understanding his implication.

Luo Fei continued.

"Ms. Song, never mind how I know. I’m asking you now. I’m really curious. What kind of deep hatred would lead you to commit such a murderous act?"

Seeing Luo Fei appear a bit perplexed.

Ms. Song replied very seriously.

"Officer, you need to have evidence to support your claims. Without evidence, it’s just slander."

"It was just once, when I was meeting someone at home, and Zhao Kuanlin happened to walk in on us. That’s all."

Ms. Song’s words made Luo Fei realize.

"Oh, so that’s what happened?"

At this point, Luo Fei paused intentionally.

Ms. Song had to take a deep breath.

And honestly confessed.

"Officer, I admit that our meeting wasn’t just a simple one. It was a lovers’ meeting."

"But I have been separated from my husband for several years. We live in different places, and our marriage is in name only. So what I did was not inappropriate, was it?"

Ms. Song seemed hesitant at this point.

But Luo Fei confidently said.

"Ms. Song, you don’t need to convince me. It’s your own choice. As an adult, you know what the consequences are."

"The real issue is whether Zhao Kuanlin spread the word after seeing it. Did that dissatisfaction lead to his death?"

Luo Fei’s expression showed some confusion.

Ms. Song remained noncommittal.

"Mr. Luo, Zhao Kuanlin is not that kind of person, he wouldn’t spread it around. He was always very honest, worked hard, and was diligent."

Even though Ms. Song said this.

Luo Fei was very sure.

"Ms. Song, you’re right. In matters like this, money talks. As long as the money is right, any problem, no matter how big, isn’t a problem, wouldn’t you agree?"

Luo Fei spoke earnestly.

But Ms. Song replied very seriously.

"Mr. Luo, Zhao Kuanlin never asked me for money."

"What about his wife then?"

Luo Fei continued, also telling her.

"Ms. Song, his wife isn’t a housewife. Even if she were, they don’t usually frequent their spouse’s workplace often. So if I wanted to find out if she had come to ask you for money, I could just check the surveillance, so why not tell me directly. What hidden motives are at play here?"

Luo Fei said this.

Prompting Ms. Song to take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, his wife did come to see me before. She said she knew about my affair and secretly took photos. She said she just wanted money to buy a used car, to continue driving a taxi."

With Ms. Song’s explanation.

Luo Fei understood.

Although Zhao Kuanlin’s wife was an ordinary person, she was inherently very determined.

Especially since her mother-in-law always wanted her to stay home and be a housewife.

But she refused adamantly.

Because of her insistence, after her confinement period, she resumed working.

She continued to work hard until now, and their child is about to enter middle school.

This pride and determination led her to meet Song Minli secretly, without telling her husband.

"Mr. Luo, to be fair."

"If I didn’t want to give her money, I wouldn’t resort to murder. At most, I would’ve signed a divorce agreement with my husband. But I did give her money, so she could buy a new taxi."

"So if I were to kill her, what would it solve? I wouldn’t get my money back. Selling the car would depreciate it. Not to mention, I might end up in jail. Financially and personally, I’d lose everything, so doing that makes no sense."

Her words made Luo Fei nod.

"Hearing you say that, it does seem to make sense, right?"

Seeing his agreement.

She also felt that what she said was reasonable.

Ms. Song remained noncommittal.

"That’s right, Mr. Luo, I have no reason to do such a thing."

Ms. Song shrugged as she spoke.

But Luo Fei suddenly asked.

"Does your husband know about this?"

Noticing her hesitation, as if she thought she was lying and unwilling to trust her.

Ms. Song handed her phone to Luo Fei.

"Ask him yourself."

Such a response made Luo Fei nod.

"I understand. Ms. Song means that he actually knows but just turns a blind eye?"

"Yes, in fact, he has someone outside too. He just hasn’t made it public. We initially agreed that as long as work comes first, minor disputes don’t matter. Anything that can be settled with money is not a problem."

Ms. Song was very confident.

But at that moment, her phone rang.

"Mr. Luo, may I answer the call?"

Upon hearing her request.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Go ahead."

Seeing his permission.

Ms. Song released a sigh of relief.

"Hello, dear, what’s up?"

"Song Minli, what are you doing? Haven’t I told you? I have no feelings for you anymore. But for work’s sake, we can’t make a fuss?"
